Udon Thani Police Investigate Alleged Discrepancy in Fatal Motorcycle Accident Report
A 19-year-old accident survivor is seeking justice after police records allegedly misidentified him as the driver of a motorcycle involved in a fatal collision.
On October 30, 2026, a 19-year-old man named Anuchit, accompanied by his family and legal counsel, filed a formal complaint with the Udon Thani City Police Station. The complaint concerns a traffic accident that occurred on July 11, 2026, on the Udon Thani-Khon Kaen road, where a motorcycle collided with a parked pickup truck. The incident resulted in one fatality and left Anuchit with a severe injury requiring the amputation of his leg. Anuchit claims that while he was a passenger on the motorcycle, the official police report incorrectly identifies him as the driver. The actual driver of the motorcycle reportedly died in the crash. The family is seeking a correction of the official record, citing concerns over the accuracy of the investigation conducted by the assigned officer. Police Colonel Pattanawong Chanphon, the Superintendent of Udon Thani City Police, has announced the formation of an investigative committee to examine the facts and determine if procedural errors occurred. For residents and travelers, this case highlights the importance of verifying official documentation following traffic incidents. The investigation is ongoing, and the final determination regarding the accuracy of the initial police report remains to be confirmed by the newly appointed committee.
